Nobody should lose their child, says Kelly Preston

Washington, May 15 (ANI): Kelly Preston recently opened up about the crisis her family went through after the death of her 16-year-old-son.

Preston and John Travolta's son Jett died of a seizure in January 2009 during the family vacation in The Bahamas.

During an interview on Lifetime's The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet the 49-year-old-actress credited her family, friends and faith for giving her the courage to move forward, reported US magazine.

"People were so beautiful-so, so extraordinary from all over the world," Everybody grieves in their own way. I felt at times like I was drowning. It felt like a sea of wet blankets. And then I just peeled them off, layer by layer, so that I can now say, 'I want to live. I love life. My life is beautiful and amazing," said the actress.

"In Scientology, we have what's called 'auditing,' and that helps you to address things in your life and to strip them away and work through them. It's a path of spiritual enlightenment. Also, it helps rid the mind of painful experience completely. Through that, the people at my church literally held my hand and got me through. . .I will forever be indebted. You never forget, but I feel like the weight of the world was lifted." She added.

"There are still things that come up, for sure, but I am able to live. And to want to live," Preston said. I can laugh. I'm-for the most part-happy. That's the greatest gift ever."

Speaking of getting pregnant again after the tragedy, the actress admitted that she had to think twice about it.

"Having another child after this experience-we had to think about it, especially this late in life," Preston said.

"I always wanted to have more kids. I feel like I would even have another child, but it might be pushing it.

"I'm not afraid to love and to love deeply. My kids help me with that. They open up your heart so much. There's nothing like the love of a child . . . it's the greatest thing ever." Preston added. (ANI)
